Check your server logs to see if there's anything about interrupted  
housekeeping. If the housekeeping takes too long and the client  
connects too frequently, then housekeeping never deletes anything.

This is something to be aware of, and the reason I want to move to  
ref-counted stores in the 0.20 version.
